    I've found estimations helpful when it's really about breaking down parts of a task that aren't independently deliverable, but still independently estimatable. When working with a …

    That sounds like the estimation process was screwed up, not that all estimation is a waste of time

    You speak as if this is a bad thing. If the U.S. funded research that caused the covid outbreak, the international community should lose trust in us, especially since public offici…

    > There are any number of other labs around the world working on similarly dangerous research that could get released on accident. And you don't see a problem with this? You seem t…

    Same reason black-hat security research exists. By developing a virus in a contained environment, you can study it, model it, potentially develop mitigations or cures.

    Yeah, I think the query-able knowledge engine is the key here, although I think it’s maybe more like “we haven’t figured out how to generalize conceptual learning”. The computer no…

    Good, we both agree that no one in this thread suggested terragrunt is developed by hashicorp?

    I feel like we kinda do this already it’s just that both servers are owned by GitHub and you can’t tell that it’s happening.

    Gain of function research can either be outlawed or not outlawed. We don’t get to try both because viruses are global issues.

    Stop doing revisionist history. Fauci said directly that masks don’t work. https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-fauci-outdated-... It’s fine to be wrong, that’s what scienc…

    It seems pretty clear to me that regarding the origin of the virus specifically, there has been bad-faith dismissal of the lab leak theory due to the politicization of GoF research…

    I think the thing that’s missing is that the AI can’t train itself. If you were asked to draw a realistic x ray of a horse’s ribcage, you’d probably google image search, do some re…

    I think pop media will continue to decline while the long tail will become better and better (this has already happened to music, film, tv, etc). If you use google and billboard ch…

    Maybe, but it hasn’t worked that way for software. I think people might see the opportunity to inject bespoke art in a lot of places it wasn’t previously. College students who coul…

    I think the apprentice model will still exist, they’ll just use AI to aid them. Only the very experienced, talented artists will know when AI is hindering them. Same way a really g…

    I wonder if subtitles could be used, so rather than describing the video, you just write a script and it generates video for you. I'm certainly no expert, but it does seem like the…

    Most businesses want CRUD apps, and people don’t particularly like coding them. Technology where you can pump out a CRUD app with little to no effort would be a blessing, freeing p…

    The problem is that most use-cases for blockchain require being beholden to a central authority anyway, because a chain is only as strong as it’s weakest link, and it’s either impo…

    I sort of agree, but then why play sports or fantasy at all? Why not just turn to a hobby that inherently rewards creativity and boldness (most contemporary arts)? Alternatively, i…
